Does Ted Cruz have Dual Citizenship?

[Mertex]

...Ted Cruz's mother obtained a Canadian citizenship....which requires an oath of allegiance. That may have disqualified her to keep her American citizenship...

If there was no action at-law prior to Cruz' birth, then none of that makes the slightest difference. If Cruz' mother was a citizen the day he was born, then so is Cruz. Finis.

Bwahahaha....just because you say so doesn't mean it is "finis"........you obviously didn't read the part where "if you make an oath of allegiance to another country....you may lose your American citizenship" .....we've yet to find out if Teddy is just wasting his time and yours.....

If there was no action at-law, by the time of the birth, to cause the woman to lose her citizenship, then no cause of action at-law exists, regarding the birth. Period.

There may not have been any reason to do so.......doesn't mean that "Ralphie" is definitely an American citizen.

 

[Mertex]

What did you say? That there is no discussion? That Ted Cruz is a citizen because he was born one? Cruz wasn't born in the US and there is sufficient doubt that he may not be eligible since he kept his Canadian citizenship until just recently. Someone has filed a suit against him, so I guess we'll soon find out.

Your previous statement:

In fact, Teddy may be in some more serious trouble, since he didn't reveal that he had Canadian citizenship when he ran for the Senate....which is considered a fraud. Not to mention the fact that he and his wife also didn't disclose a big fat loan they got to fund his campaign, required by the Federal Election Committee. It may not cause him more trouble but it sure exposes Ted Cruz as a fraud and a liar.



In short, Sen. Ted Cruz was a legal citizen of Canada when he ran for and became a U.S. Senator, without ever having disclosed his Canadian citizenship to Texas voters, which under both Texas and U.S. Election law, is an act of fraud. Ted Cruz had committed election fraud by failing to disclose to Texas voters that he was a Canadian citizen in 2012.
By having retained his Canadian citizenship until 2014 means that he “could” have voted in Canada and ran for the Canadian Parliament at the same time he was in the U.S. Senate. This eligibility issue is showing a lack of integrity on the part of Cruz.
Cruz Says 'If Obama Can Do It, So Can I' - Dr. Rich Swier


The Federal Election Committee requires candidates to disclose loans that are used to fund their campaigns, in order to increase transparency and ensure that candidates aren’t getting sweetheart rates from banks. Cruz did not disclose the loans, one of which came from his wife’s employer—Goldman Sachs.
Cruz Didn’t Disclose up to $1 Million in Senate Campaign Loans From Goldman Sachs, Citibank

The suit will be dismissed for lack of standing, just like the ones on your dear leader. Otherwise feel free to keep grasping for those straws, you might get lucky.

The claims against Obama were always bogus........that's why you all resorted to the lie that he was born in Kenya. It's not looking that clear for Teddy, and these aren't "straws".
The fact that Teddy's mother obtained Canadian citizenship may have disqualified her as an American citizen...but keep holding on to your dream....if it gives you warm fuzzies.

And because becoming a Canadian citizen requires an oath of allegiance—and Section 349 of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act stipulates that American citizens who swear allegiance to another country may lose their American citizenship—it seems possible that Cruz's mother may have lost her American citizenship. This would mean that Cruz was not a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth and is therefore ineligible to become president.

Damn you're good at cutting and pasting,

Unlike you and majority of Republicans, who just post the pap they hear on Faux News?

did she get this supposed citizenship before or after little Teddy was born?

I guess the courts will have to figure that out....but a 1974 voter register lists her as a voter in Canada, so she definitely must have Canadian citizenship.

Why do you post assumptions without the facts?

That's what you are doing. We're supposed to take your word......Faux News babble? Learn to use google.....it might help you not be so uniformed.

I guess you missed this post.

However, Diane Benson, a spokeswoman for Elections Canada, tells Newsweek that the presence of a person's name on a voter roll does not necessarily mean that he or she was legally allowed to vote. It was not immediately clear if that rule was the same in 1974, when Cruz's mother's name appeared on the list.

It could have been a simple clerical error, she may not have been a citizen of Canada at all, NEXT.

The thing is that it hasn't been proven that "Ralphie's" mother didn't have Canadian citizenship.....her husband did....and they owned a business together, so it makes sense that she obtained Canadian citizenship. The article you mention (her name on a voter roll) doesn't prove that she wasn't a citizen, either.

It has been pointed out over and over again that he has given up his Canadian citizenship, though very recently (2013?) and with an eye toward running for US President.

From what I see in your link, the author is making assumptions. That's the problem with lawyers and regressives, they try to split hairs and play semantics games when plain language would better serve the situation.

Funny how Republicans made such an issue over Obama's eligibility (and Obama was born in the United States - even is his mother had been from Mars, the fact he was born in the US settled the matter) and now they are glossing over the glaring fact that Cruz wasn't even born in the United States. I'm sure that enough interest in the truth will be generated to cause Ted Cruz plenty of angst.......Karma is a *****.

What Republicans? very few actually, but you live in a bubble. You and reality are unacquainted

Very few Republicans? Really.....you may be the one that is living in a bubble. But then, most conservatives live in a state of denial.......... They're also not informed...40% think Cruz was born in the US....goes to show the ignorance that abounds.

Turns out a majority of Iowa’s likely Republican caucusgoers — 59% — share Trump’s skepticism.
The new Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics Iowa Poll asked: “Do you believe Barack Obama was born in the United States or not?
Just 42% say yes, he was born in the U.S., with the remainder divided between those who express confidence he was not (35%) and those who do not know (24%).
Among Trump’s supporters, though, even more believe Obama wasn’t born in the U.S. (46%); 25% aren’t sure; and 29% say he was born in the U.S.
Iowa Poll: Many Republicans still doubt Obama was born in U.S.


Shock Poll: Only 29% Of Republicans Said Obama
Was Born In USA;

40% Said Ted Cruz Born In USA

Bwahahaha,,,,,,so where's your poll that shows very few Republicans believe Obama wasn't born in the US? You just posted evidence that you're talking out of your ass.

Actually it wasn't until 2014 that he gave us his Canadian citizenship. Claims he didn't know.....for being a Harvard law graduate, he must be pretty dense if he didn't know.

The great irony is that Raphael (Ted) Cruz, the Cubnadian performance artist, touts himself as a "Constitutional Originalist"...which would make him ineligible.

Funny how leftists 1) think all situations are exactly the same, and 2) think parroting people's criticisms back blankly, regardless of appropriateness, is the definition of "karma".

Where's your proof that the left think all situations are exactly the same? Nobody on the left has equated Obama's situation with Cruz's? Obama was born in the US....there was no question about his citizenship except to the dumb and uninformed Republicans. The "karma" is about how the very issue that Republicans made such a big deal over Obama that even today many "smart" Republicans still think Obama wasn't born in the US, is now coming back to haunt one of their own and causing him angst.

"You said it, and now I'm saying it to YOU! Hahahahahaha!"

Saying what? You really don't make much sense.

Makes me glad I'm too smart to be leftist.

Keep thinking that......while you vote against your own interest. Republicans don't want women to make the same amount of money as men for the same job.....and you're okay with that....that ought to give you a glimpse on how "smart" you really are.

The real question is did she surrender her US citizenship.

The real question is whether or not she was still a citizen at the time Ralphie was born. I'm sure the courts will determine it. Not that it matters, now that Republican/conservative hero Sarah Palin has endorsed Dumb (Trump)....which means that Dumber (Cruz) will probably lose in Iowa.

First of all a question can't be proven true or untrue, it can only be answered. Second the spokeswoman simply said many names appear on voter rolls who may not be eligible to vote, nothing has been proven to date that his mother was ever a Canadian citizen. The question has been raised, so far, no answer. Got it?

Actually the loan was reported on one form, it was overlooked on a second form and was corrected when it was discovered. But let's not let little things like facts get in the way of a good story, right?

Now would be a good time for you to provide a link........because you're just trying to gloss over some important facts....just like Rafael is trying to do. He lied, too. You probably don't understand it and are just anxious to make it go away? He accuses Trump of "New York values" - when's he's a sly-as-a-fox politician himself, no?

He bad-mouths Goldman Sachs, and there he is, sucking off their tit.



Cruz's Senate campaign reported to the Federal Election Commission that Cruz made the loans; there's no mention of Goldman or Citi.
This appears to be contrary to election law, which requires a candidate not only to report the amount, interest rate, terms and date but also to file the actual loan documents.

Cruz was trailing badly, when he told his wife he wanted "to liquidate our entire net worth, liquid net worth, and put it into the campaign," he noted to The New York Times in 2013.
It now appears they didn't liquidate, but rather borrowed against their investments, with a margin loan from Goldman Sachs, where Heidi Cruz is a managing director. (She's on leave for the campaign.) They also took a line of credit from Citibank.

The Cruz Senate campaign didn't do this with the Goldman and Citi deals; it just reported personal loans from Cruz.

Yes, Cruz is a Washington insider; yes, Cruz is downplaying the facts of the loan; and, yes, he loves himself some Sachs.
